If you blow swarf about, you are just blowing it in to your machinery as well. Your cast iron "swarf", is not swarf, its little bits that makes superb grinding grit, will destroy the slideways.
You can either be patient, brush it away and sweep up, or suck it away; any old discarded household device ( I have an old old Dyson, it still sucks nicely through its extension thingybob, even though the rest is knackered) will do.
Thats apart from the safety aspects of course

Yesterday I got one of those invisible and grossly irritating metal splinters (so small that I couldn't see it..) in the palm of my hand, and I remembered the tip from USRA about using a hacksaw blade. It worked like magic. Thanks....!

It worked like magic. Thanks....! Well wear gloves, I know we don't all do it all of the time, the same as safety goggles, overalls, and we take the machine guards off because they are a nuisance.. As said before, in your own workshop you can decide your limits and not some PC quango from the EU, or minions from Blur's government. Care and thought is all it needs, you can decide. Agreed, good tip though, I had cause to try it..  John |
